[AT] Machine shop

Kevin: I'd be also concerned about the whole assembly being balanced properly. I would suggest that he would make another from scratch; even then, without dynamic (spin) balancing, you could have some vibration problems. There are balancing sites available that would do this for you.  Just my $0.02!  Joe Hardisky  Ryman Farm Dallas,PA

> Machine shop called yesterday morning said flywheel is ready. So I jump in the car and go get it, shop owner gets a time card off the wall and starts counting hours worked on this. 8 hours @ $50.00
> then says $200.00 cash as that was what he quoted in the beginning.
>   So I load the flywheels up, pay the man and head for home. Soon as I get home im hoppin to get it on and tractor back together. These things are heavy !
> Anyway to make a long story short. I got the bolts handy and grabbed the flywheel. Lined up the guide pin 
> fit flywheel on pin and started trying to start bolts. After 1/2 hour of sweating like it was 90 degrees, got one bolt started. Got a flashlight and looked in the bolt holes, Oh no...  They were all off one as much as 1/2 inch, so I called a freind that is into old tractors. Had him stop by see what he thought, by pulling the flywheel back off the pin we could get 4 bolts to start. And see how far off the holes actually were, terrible work.
> It looked so good when I picked them up just like a new penny. Anyways the shop owner said bring em back Monday, that they would FIX it ?
> Now im wondering how many holes can be drilled in a flywheel before it gets dangerous ? I welcome any ideas advice.
> Thanks
